Egon Stoll-Berberich (17 June 1913 – 2 May 1973) was a German pilot of the Luftwaffe during World War II.[1] He flew 734 combat missions, during which he destroyed more than 50 enemy tanks (46 according to some sources),[1][2] seven bridges over the Desna, Dnieper, and Tim rivers, and two armored trains, in a career that spanned both the Western and Eastern theaters of the war, including the Mediterranean theater.[3] For his actions, he was decorated with several awards, including the German Cross in Gold and the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, both for acts of bravery.[3]
Later, after leaving the armed forces with the rank of Hauptmann (Captain), he joined the post-war Bundeswehr, where he reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.[3]
